Nothing Better To Blog About Myself-
Hey yo everybody! School started for me. It's already the 3rd day at school. Life seems boring over there. Even the security guards n librarians are in holiday mood. The chicken rice aunty wished she did not have to come back to chop chicken for me. The drink stall uncle was happily serving drinks (that's why I always think he's mad)
All thanks to Faith for bothering to give me free unconditioned morning calls, which made me realise that I have a schoolmate called faith (oops forgot all about school). Faith if you ever see this, THANKS (I know faith don't read my blogs). So...this is my chance. FAITH YOU SUCK! YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER QUESTIONED EACH OTHER ABOUT YOUR EXISTANCE! Hehe kiddin!
Thanks to Jamie and Qi for companying me for boring miserable lunch too. (I know they read my blogs sometimes). So...OH! LOVE THEM! THEY ARE GREAT PEOPLE! NICE WARM SCHOOL MATES! Hehe I'm not sure if that was true.
The Great O BIRKENSTOCK-
Haha heard of this brand?? I wore a pair of these today to school. WOOHOO! WHAT! JACOB OWNS BIRKENSTOCK?? YOU CAN'T BE KIDDIN. It's true. I own a pair of them. I'm so proud of myself. I OWN A PAIR OF BIRKENSTOCK! Listen...not Trail, not uncle slippers, not even Converse or Nike or Teva! BIRKENSTOCK! Do you know how great are a pair of these?? They cost from around 90bucks to around $400 or $500 bucks per pair! They are all made in Germany! Yes!
The Brand is well established, since 1774! Not 1986 or 1973 ok! 1774! People never go picnic with their wife and kids for so many years to design slippers! Must be good stuff.
And the shoe comes with well researched technologies. Check this out.

What's more, a model, not just any Tom Dick Harry, But a male model from my course praise my pair of Birkenstock ok! He said it's nice! He asked me where I got mine. Model praise me ok! WOOHOO! Birkenstock! Expensive! Cost as much as a student's monthly allowance!
Ok, The truth is, my pair is really all fake. Yeah it says Birkenstock. Made in Germany. But it really is purely made in Thailand. Got it for only 9bucks at Phuket's pasamalam. Come on! I would never spend those foolish money on such stuff. Rather get some nice vintage guitars or something. And everyone who praised my slippers wanted to bash me up when I told them it was really all fake, and it's slippery in rainy weather.

Last School Holiday In My Lifetime-
Haha...Tonight is the last night of my holidays, and this probably might be my last school holidays. My next would be waiting for army le...Haha...Time flies...I'll have to wash toilet for the government, getting pay like 50cents per hour for wearing green uniforms.
Turning Point?-
Just came back from a christian camp...hmm...1st time going for a 2day camp!so short. Like any other camps, this one's impactful, full of power, great worship, great messages.
But somehow I've managed to get alot more than I usually do from this camp. God has realli shown me many great things in the last 48hours. Haha...up till this point, if you feel like my entry's not gonna be relevant to you cuz u're not a christian or not a "high level" christian, pls don't think it that way alright. Haha!
One thing about many good christian camps is that I'll feel very recharged after the camp. Full of hopes, dreams, very eager to serve the Lord. After some time...it would fade away. This time, I'm reminded time n time again in the camp that the more important thing is to maintain this state that I'm in after the camp. Spending quiet moments with God regularly, and definitely lots of prayers.
I realised that there are so many things in life that does not require my attention. What people thinks about me, my clothes, my hair, my physical abilities, everything. I don't wanna spend anymore additional time on temporal stuff...I find that there's so much I should be doing, I have no time to waste.
There was this guitarist I knew from this camp. I'm totally amazed by him. He is indeed very skilled. Self taught, but able to play rather professional blues, funk, pop, jazz all on acoustic. But that's not why I'm amazed by him.
He definitely is one of those very good guitarist that could play in the pubs, but his attitude amazed me. He is such a God loving n God fearing man. He is so humble, and the only reason why he becamed so skilled is because he desires to serve God with his music. Usually many church have a little of their dreams: they wished to not only serve God, but also make music their living. Even if it was purely about serving God, they would want to do something big...like play in hillsongs or some famous christian band.
This guy that I know...He does not desire to be famous...infact he only plays for a small church. I'm thinking...how is it possible for someone so pro, have so much skills, to just give up all those dreams of making it big out there, n be contented playing for a small church. It takes really takes a humble man after God's heart to make that sort of decision. I wanna be like him. If one day I make it big, it's a bonus. But if I don't, I won't mind being a small infamous guitarist for God.
There r just so much to say...but I guess some things are really hard to be said over here...so I shall end here? Take care!

-New Music For Blog
Finally I've changed my blog's music! This time, it's an extremely cute song from the naruto anime! Haha! I'm not super crazy about Naruto, but it just happens that they have the best sound tracks. Naruto's songs are technically the best as compared to other animes I've watched.
From a musician's point of view, I truely admire Japanese in their music.
1. They are good with band dynamics (plays together, compliments each other)
2. They take pride in their music
3. Whatever music they play, be it rock, funk, pop, blues or anyting, they will include alittle bit of their "style" and culture in it. Eg. Traditional jap drums or string instruments
That all, I hope I've pleased those J-pop Fans...treat me to lunch or sumthing..=)

Books Without Any Value-
I went to Borders bookstore on monday...took a good look around to realise that there are many interesting book titles! After spending some time there...I wondered why I was never into reading when I was younger. There're so many answers and outlooks to so many different issues which can only be found in books...
I began to imagine...how nice it would be for me to write some books...and it set me pondering about book titles....Hmm....How about: Strategic approaches to getting to school on time -Jacob. LOL! That is a book without any value! How would I ever be early??haha! And I thought of several other books without any values:
Food you should eat to grow tall -Jacob Lau
Grooming looks for success -Zhi Xiang(my red team gay friend)
Introduction to lectures -Jacob Lau
Philosophies on life -Choon Lei
Handling things with care -Darryl Soon
The effective 40 day diet -Gina Goh
Speaking 1,000,000 words a day -David Soon
Gaining weight in 1 month -Deborah Su, Jamie Thia
Brutal ways to kill people -Suzanne
Sex, Drugs & Alcohol -Benjamin Lim
Laughing politely in public -Kai Qi, Jamie Thia
A stern face -Song Lee
Sponge Bob: Raising satanism -Joel Chng
Agreeing with Jacob -Hui Yu
Skirts for all occassions -Huimin
Handphone Purchasing Guide -Desiree Goh
Factors to effective decision making -Joanne Ong
Haha...there're endless names n books to this list. If any1 wants me to suggest a book title for your name, or i missed out anyother people's names, drop me a tag alright?

-Forbidden From The Best?
This is an original story that The Lord had inspired me with.
One day, The Lord decided to bring 2 guys, Andy & Tom to a place called Forbidden land. God told them that the things that they see will see in the land are things that they will never be able to own, enjoy or achieve in their lifetime!
As the 2 guys were walking around Forbidden land, they stumbled upon their dream cars. Andy's face turned cold instantly, thinking to himself: WHAT!!THAT'S LIKE MY DREAM CAR N GOD'S TELLING ME I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO DRIVE THAT CAR IN MY LIFETIME? Tom, upon seeing his dream car, smiled and walked away.
They soon arrived at a place where they saw 2 performers. Andy, aspiring to be a really great guitarist ever since he was young, saw the best guitarist ever in his lifetime! That guitarist played like a dream! He has the speed, the melodic creativity and was a natural music performer. Andy walked away with a feeling of disappointment, asking God why he would never be the best guitarist. Tom, whom have been aspiring to be the best dancer, saw the best dancer ever! That dancer was perfect! precise movement, full of vibrance n elegance, every move that the dancer made seemed to be like a grace. Even though seeing the dancer = Tom would never be able to dance like that in his lifetime, Tom walked away smiling happily to himself.
Andy n Tom continued walking, where they stumble upon 2 lovely ladies. The 1st girl immediately drew Andy into the next level of fantasy. She seemed like everything Andy ever wanted. She had the looks, the correct dress sense, the perfect figure, the perfect character, the perfect smile n beautiful eyes. The 2nd girl was Tom's type of dream girl. Same case as Andy's, that girl seemed to have everything Tom ever wanted in a girl. Andy turned furious instantly, thinking: WHAT! SUCH A BEAUTY N U'RE TELLING ME THAT SHE'LL NEVER BE MY WIFE? While Tom revealed an expression of hidden great joy.
After they left Forbidden land, Andy couldn't take it anymore! He began to curse n swear: Man! what's wrong with u Tom! Why are you smiling so happily? Don't you feel miserable??There are so many things in Forbidden land....that we really liked from the bottom of our hearts, but yet we are told that those r the things we'll never get in our lifetime! If I can never achieve those "dreams", why is God showing me those things? Is He trying to laugh at me, showing me what I'm deprive of? Why is it that u seem so happy after seeing those things, even though you know they'll never be yours?
Tom replied: oh...at first I saw my dream car..I instantly realised that I could never afford such cars in my lifetime, and I was happy! Because, deep in my mind I'm thinking "since I don't have the chance to own cars, u mean God's gonna bless me with something better den cars?oh man that's so great!"
When I walked past that best dancer, I realised that the position of a "best dancer" was taken up. That was the position that I have wanted all my life. Since it's already taken up by some1 else, I'm happy! Because I can't believe God's gonna provide me with an even better position in life that I could ever imagine!!!
When I saw that girl that seemed to have everything I've ever wanted, I realise that she's some1 that I would never be able to get. And I was overjoyed! I can't believe that God has already prepared an even better girl for me!!!
Sometimes we want certain things in life badly, and God just wouldn't give them to us. It seems like He often forbids us from what we think is already the best. We thought we are being deprived. Have we forgotten that He is able to bless n provide us with things far beyond our imagination n expectations?

Phuket Trip-
Yo! It's another update from me...better update more while I'm free! Been to Phuket over the weeked...hmm the weather was a spoiler...but it was still a great n unique experience.
Really witnessed the fear and the destruction of the tsunami to the people over there...not physically(since those dead bodies were cleared) but mental destruction. Days seemed to be hard to get by for them...business is poor...the people seem to have lost that "something" in their lives...
During my Thai massage session the person even told me that she herself witnessed the tsunami and had escaped death by hiding on the second floor. Every1 seems to be rather afraid of windy and stormy weather....they would close early just to avoid any possible danger..
So please...GO THERE N SPEND SOME MONEY PEOPLE!! HELP THEM OUT! HAHA!
A Time Of Reflection-
Most importantly were not the beaches or the sun...I felt that this trip came in time for me to reflect on many aspects of my life...what am I doing on earth so far...Where do I wish to head towards...It also reminded me of those early years of my life...where I had endless amount of energy n passion to serve the Lord...Where have those passion n energy gone to? It seemed to have faded away bit by bit as I slowly emerge into the ways of the world..
Perhaps...It's all in God's plan...that I go for this trip...
"When we feel like we're in control of our lives...We better think twice...Man are NOT made to function alone....But are made to function with God."
If u who's reading this blog right now feels that u're quite in control of your life...U had better give the control back to God ...Or u'll land into a state where u have no means to handle yr life and u're forced to give that control back to God!
Some pics from the trip=)

Haha! Xiang pls don't take that personally alright! Anyway...we were very bored...and we wanted to take a picture of ourselves n remember this day. But....How to take ourselves? There's no digital camera...my hp does not have a timer! It'll be plain stupid to ask anyone on the streets to take a picture of us! So we've decided on our new mission!
OBJECTIVE: to find a deserted toilet in orchard area...and stand infront of the mirror...and take pictures of ourselves!
Haha...on the way....I began to become more concious of colours around us...And I realised....CINE'S WALLS CONSISTS OF RED N YELLOW, AND IT LOOKS JUST LIKE US WHEN WE STAND TOGETHER!

After having stared by 5481989438702114681 people, we finally accomplished our mission! The toilet at Paragon is clear! Hohoho!

I'm really depressed...I'm suffering from some kind of a illness...and I'm not sure if it'll eventually cure...It wouldn't put my life in danger...but...It would change my looks permantly... Oh well...don't ask me much about what's happening...just remember to continue friending me if I become ugly ok! If not I'll Haunt u when I die argh!:p Tell u guys more about my phuket trip in my next post!
